"A more frontle, invcly ("u-isii.m
woman nt;vir lived. "
From such a royal auce-try
cann! our bolovod hrotlior, a peo
ple of siiDpli! and hearty man
ners, of strong hands and stout
hearts, of honest and sterling
virtues of pure religious faith and
unswerving convictions. Tt is
worth something to have the
blood of such ancestors tinylmtf
in our veins and to feel in every
fiber of one's bein the impulses
of such worthy examples.
It was while the family was
residing at Landtsburj; that Wil
liam A. West was born on Febru
ary L", liemovin the saimj
year to Warm Sjiiinjrs, Perry
county, the following ten years
ofhiippy childhood and boylu od
passed away while unconsciously
to himself the foundations of the
man that was to be, were secure
ly laid. In 1SW the family re
moved to New Dlootntield where
better facilities for education
were ottered in the public schools
and in the Academy. No tradi
tions have been pi eserved of the
school boy nor of the Academy
youth who was preparing for col
lege. It is safe to say that vul
ture doubtless asserted itself in
the ordinary way and repressed
the gravity of coming manhood.
It is a common word, "Hoys will
be boys." Alas for the world if it
were not s.i. The dawning man
lmess and self reliance of the
youth were shown by the fact
that in his nineteenth year, he
was called to take; cha ge of our
of the public school of New Bloom
field and learned his first lessons
in the art that was to fill his life
with the Art of Teaching. Tn the
year before, his eirhtienth 'ye:r,
a step had been taken that
shaped the course of all subse
quent years, he openly ackno vl
fdgod Jesus Christ as his sole
Mastjr and Savior, consecreated
his life to His service, and united
with the Presbyterian church of
New Hloomtield then under the
care of Uev. John Dickey.
The deiinito aim of life still
hung in the balance. Oue of the
Professions must lie cl osen, the
medical life presented attrac
tions, his thoughts bent that
way, and he even began the
study of Medicine under the di
rection of his brother in law, Dr.
Samuel (J. Fdwards. Hut deep
in his heart the voice that tiad
called him to the feet of the Great
Master called anew aud said, "1
have another path for your feet,
come fcpeak for me to the men
for whom I died." The Heavenly
vision disturbed the tenor of his
thoughts, and rest aud assur
ance came, when he answered,
"Speak Lord, for thy servant
heareth." The oim of life was
fixed; ho left all and followed Je
sus in the way, as definitely as
did Matthew by the wayside, or
James and John by the sea of 1 ,1"''n ,H(,1 homo to God ; the only r-Jenc.-.sarct.

he came out victor iu the strug

in Sejitember, Hilt. "It is good
for n man to bear the yoke in his
youth," and the sharp discipline
of tho five College years was a
splendid preparation for more
than a half century of service
that followed.
After leaving College, Mr. Wont at
otn'i' ontcrcd upon his Theological
studies at the Western Theuloi-al
Seminary, Allegheny, Pa., parsieii
Uie full Ihi'ee years eoarsc and (friidii
atinr in the Sir!ntf of ls"-. Here also
during llie thn c years lie eonlinaed
the doahle work of stinlyini and te ich
iiii. It, was tn happy fortano to n eet
him ilariny the last year ot Ids semi
nary l oarse, as a fellow .student. Wo
were not thrown together in the elass
rooin. lie was a hirh senior, I tt fal
low .junior, and the most I now retail
of him U that of a sober, earnest,
warm-hearted yoanr man whom 1 met
at the preaehiiiir trials under the in
spietion of the faculty, l!ev. I Irs. Mi
di'!, riiiiitt, .laeohas and Pluinmoi'.
I: is vi ry lil;e!y he heard the lii-st i.r
inon, litteen minutes in length, that. I
ever tried to preach, and to his jrener
ositv I may say he did not pounce up
on the poor, little (irst horn in lofty
critici.-m, as Home of his elassmates
da!. 1 thank him to-day. It opened
the wa to a life-lone; friendsliip.
Mr. West was now ready for his life
work, and on April It. 1"."J. he was
licensed to preach the Gospel hy the
l'rclytery of Carlisle, at Hagei stown
Maryland. The oie-ht years of toil in
preparation had so undermined his
health that it seemed to he quite doubt
ful whether it would he worth while to
attempt the labors of On-Ministry. 1 tut
wise counsels prevailed, and, alter
supplying a few vacant churches for a
brief time, he accepted an invitation
to become ttie stated supply of the I'p
per Path Valley church for six months
its pastor hein in ill health, lie enter
ed upon his work in September,
(n account of continued illness, Mr.
Craham was released from the pastor
al care of the church iu the spring of
1 s." :j, and Mr. West was at once un
animously called to be his succesMir
in the pa-torate, anil on June 2, .Yi,
lie was ordained and installed as the
pastor of the church. Here he remain
ed for mure than twenty years: they
were peculiarly happy years. It was
a mode pastorate: it was amid a warm
hearted, intelligent and noble people.
They returned the love and devotion
of their pastor with an iiuchanvrinu'
friendship and deep allection. They
wanted no other leader and teacher.
Their homes filled the beautiful region
where their lot was cast. The minutes
of the fleneral Assembly from 1.").'! to
ls7.'i give us some hints in hare llgurcs
of tho fruits of this blessed t'nion, but
only the stories told in the Heavenly
world can reveal all tho charm and
beauty of it.
( n the l'jth of November, ls.",;i, Mr.
West was united in marriage with
Miss Jane McClellan Waddell who
walked by his side for nearly half a
century, loyal, helpful and true, win
ning love and praise of all who were
so happy as to know her.
After twenty years of successful la
bor in the Upper Path Valley church,
Mr. West was persuaded by the urg n
cy of personal friends to resign his
charge and undi rtake Missionary
work in the oily of 1 larrisburg, under
the auspices of Market Sipiare and
Pine Street Churches. Ho entered up
on the new Held of work on February
1, l'.t, and continued in it until April
lH!l'i: a period of over seventeen years,
when the slate of his health compelled
him to resign. These years were the
years of his nostvaiisd and exeiting
toils. Successes and disappointments,
sunshine and clouds attend it. The
heart of the stoutest man might have
failed. His brave and wise and lov
ing wife shared fully iu his anxious
toils. Within a year a new church
was organized and a handsome brick
chapel was erected at a cost of $3,HX).
At tho date of his release from the pas
torate he left a church of about "-I.VI
members and a Sunday School of
l.".a.
Alter leaving Harrisburg, Mr. West
took charge of the 'Id Presbyterian
Church of Carlisle, during the absence
of its pastor, Uev. Dr. George Nor
cro.s, serving it somewhat ovi r a year
lielieving that his work as a pastor
was now at an end, lie returned with
his family to Ids old homo in Path
Valley, expecting to spend the rest of
Ids life among the beloved people of
his first charge. It was a ijiilot, coun

'm.wl.U i I...- i i , i ., .
beloed wile, on 1 binary (!. 1W. -Sidler
a woid of uiiueedi.d. praise of
this rarely gifted woman from one
who had learned to greatly pt le her
friendship.
The recollections of her wherever
she went are all gracious. She filled
all positions with the wise tact of an
Intelligent mind and the loving grace
of a Christly heart. She was a con
stant inspiration to her husband.
She wus supremely loyal to the obli
gations of motherhood. She was
calm, patient an sisterly in tho con
gregations w here the eyes of all her sex
looked to her for counsel aud love.
In the wider intercourse of social life
and In the larger responsibilities of
Presbyterian organizations, she was
ever true, wise and helpful, and for
more than forty years she walked
with our brother the pathway of n
blended life w ith a heart that never
faitered, and with gentle footsteps that
never grew weury.
While Mr. West was at Welsh Kan.
a call to the Presidency of Metgar
College, Carlisle, was pressed upon
him, which he aeeepied and continued
to till the otlire for the succeeding t.vo
J'tirs. 1 1 is heart was however Itfthe
pastoral work, and as two calls were
urged upon him to return to it, he ac
cepted one of them, that of his prese nt
charge, the united churches of Mc-
'onnellsburg and Green Hill, enter
ing upon this last pastorate on April
1, Itioo. and was installed on June .'!,
l'.iun. Though he had crossed more
than half a score of o'ar ago the rec
ognized ''Dead line" of Ministerial
elliciency, he is still very much alive,
moving about in his wide lield of la
bor, in summer and winter, in storm
and calm, very like a young- man. lie
is welcome in the pulpit and in tho
homes of the people and revered and
loved by all classes of the community.
I think no one among us all can mere
completely use the language of the an
cient patriarch, and as he looks upon
the years through which the Pnseen
Hand has led him and speak of tho
days

Tho labors of our beloved brother
have not been i-onlined solely to the
ax acting' toils of a faithful pastorate.
H iring his residence in I larrisburg he
devoted no small care and time to the
preparation of the first volume of The
Centennial History of the Presbytery
of Carlisle, and was for a year Chap
lain of the Sta'e Senate. lie was one
of tin; ( hatter members of the Wilson
College for Women at its organizat ion
in l-i;s, and after thirty-live years of
loving service, through dark days end
bright is still a member of the Hoard
of Trustees. I'or nine years he was
the 1 'resident of the Hoard, resigning
it to accept the" Presidency of Metzgar
v ouege. since trio yea r iMi, lie has j
neen uie courteous and model Stated
Cleik of the Presbytery of Carlisle, a
position of large and honorable re
sponsihilty. His brethren have !Yo
'liiently sent him to represent the
Churches of tho Presbytery in tho
counsels of the synod of Pennsylvania
and in the general assembly of the
whole church.
This bare record of a" very busy life
would lie incomplete did I not refer to
the blessed home that had it.s birth on
the fifteenth of Xovembor, Is",.!. Into
it were born four sons and three
daughters. Into it came sunshine and
clouds, welcomes and partings, laugh
ter and tears. Into it came discipline
and smiles of the Heavenly Father.
Three of tho sons were taken away in
their early manhood, tint with tlio
peace of God iu their hearts "They
had washed their robes in the blood
of the I.amb," and had a right to en
ter through the Gates into tlio City;
and into that city where are neither
tears nor night they have hailed tlio
coming of their loving mother who
first taught them to utter the name of
Jesus In childhood's veneration and
trust.
Tho remaining son, Hubert If., is a
Professor in the Syrian Protestant
College, Heyrout, Syria. One daugh
ter, widely known und greatly be
loved, is a missionary In Japan. An
other is the wife of Mr. William Jen.
nlugs, of Harrisburg, and tho third is
the wife of Mr. It. Sharpu Patterson,
of McConnellsbury:, Pa., your fellow
townsman.

tint bounds of tho Presbytery.. lie
was her child; ho spent his life here,
the three years of Seminary life ex

he gave his heart to God, and here In
response to the heavenly call, and to

these ripe joari he has been, beyond

We (five thanks to Uod for

come to them nil, and will abide with
them all for years to come.
I deem it a fortunato thing that wo
are sometime permitted to tell' a man
before ho goes hence what we think of
him and how much we love him.
Words of cominendat Ion, of sympa
thy and uiVection are delayed until tho
ear that would have gladly heard
them, can no longer hear, and the
heart that would have been soothed
by them beats no more.
I have no eulogy to pronounce.
There are some things for which
I especially wish to thank the
Giver of every good and perfect
gift.
Tho memories of this busy,
quiet life among us for more titan
half a century stir me to grate
fulness. Our brother did not hold his
early faith iu Christ in long se
cresy. He entered at once on a
declared aud full discipleship.
; Like one of old, he said to tholov
lintr Master, whom he had chosen,
I ' Lord what w ilt thou have rne to
do'. " This has been the question
I of his life. The Muster has open
ed the gates of toil to him, and he
has entered into them. What a
ready, busy life it has been. It
has put on no show; it hits never
been plagued by wordly ambi
tions; it has sought no great
things for itself. It has takeu
the openings of life as they were
made by an invisible Hand, and
walked in them, almost with
noiseless feet. The busiest men
are not the noisy men. Quietly,
in simple directness, iu the way
of seeming unconsciousness, in
daily watchfulness to meet tho
Master's will, in the wav of un
selfish love, and of willing sacri-
liee, he has met the duties of
tll0s3 many years, carrying the
iigm oi living irutn inio Hundreds
of homes, touching quietly, gen-1
r-
us thank God. There has been
no self-glorying in it. (luileless,
unassuming and ready for lowly j
burdens has it ever been. It j
made no claims for rank or place.
It jostled no man on the street.
It ran no i ace for earthly reward, j
ft, took the davs fls tbev ea tme for 1
they came as they were seut, ar-1
rayed brightly or darkly by the 1
hand of God, lilled with the boun-!
tiful affections of a happy house-:
hold, or the tears of a smitten
home, with losses or gains, with j
crosses or crowns, what matters
it, so the Master's work was done
and the Master's smile was won.
We may lift our hearts to God
m thanksgiving for this Gospel
.Ministry or more man nail a con-1
tury that is still unresting.
1 1 may seem but a simple fact,

j(r
to be a leaf on the tree !
than never to have been at all. I j
would rather have been a worm j
under the sod, or a bird in tho air j
than never to have come at all iu-
to God's great Universe. It is a
grave thing to come into the!
thoughts aud plans of God and to '
be something that he has fashion-!
ed.
But to be a man, to bear the
image and likeness of God, to live
iu a world marked by the foot
steps of tho sou of God, and re
deemed by the Hood of Calvary;
to be enrolled among the disciples
of tho Groat Master,-to bo called
by Him into tho closer bonds and
larger duties of a Preacher of the
Gospel, what abounding reasons
we have for thanksgiving.
This interchanging friendship
with our brother through the
passing years has beeu brighten
ed and deepened by our onward
look. It has had the heart of eter
nity in it.
For tho genial, hearty friend
ship of our fellow Presbyter
through these many years wo
once again lift our thanksgiving
to God.
A lot of young fellows in a
neighboring town had a good
time with a hobo hist week They
sha.'ed him aud cut his hair.
They then bought a new suit of
clothes, whito shirt and stand-up
collar and dressed him out com
plete. Hut when they attempt
ed to burn his hobo clothes he
objected and fought for them
with such desperation their sus
picions were aroused, and upon
searching they found 1,400 sew
ed up in tho coat. You cannot al
ways judge a hobo by his clothes.
